By: Geoff Johns (writer), Jim Lee (penciller), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: You know, I guess it’s not a new-fangled Rubik’s cube after all.

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Jim Lee (penciller), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: I have only one question—what happened to everybody’s underwear? The Review: Funny.

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Andy Kubert (penciller), Jesse Delperdang (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: Remember kids: never accept juice boxes from strangers.

By: Adam Schlagman (writer), Cliff Richards (artist), Allen Passalaqua (colorist) The Story: Snakes and planes!

By: Adam Schlagman (writer), Ben Oliver (artist), Allen Passalqua (colorist) The Story: It’s Hal Jordan’s life—we just live in it.

Green Lantern – Movie Review

Posted on June 17, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

The Review: Green Lantern isn’t really a property that opens itself up to particularly provocative themes or questions, or at least, most people don’t tend to view it as such. As a space opera with a whole universe for its setting, its spirit is almost purely adventurous. Even when its ideas reach dizzying heights of [...]
